People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

The world is going crazy,
I don’t know what to do.
While I know I am crazy,
I know you’re crazy, too.

Since life is upside down,
I’m standing on my head.
By your feet all over town.
That fills me full of dread.

You could kick my head in
and that would really suck.
If I’d see it coming, then,
I would have time to duck.

This sounds violent, maybe
my brain’s baked by the sun.
Have I slipped under the sea,
Ever-rising water is not fun.

Can’t find any water to drink.
Hungry, too; food lost to fire.
I do not know what to think.
It’s like walking a thin wire.

Still, one of us will be right,
and I don’t think that’s you.
You think I’m crazy or tight.
I think you are bonkers, too.

Denying what’s true not good.
Your leader tells you he’s sure.
If you live rich or in the hood,
may not be time to find a cure.

So, which one is the crazy one?
I will say it is you and you me.
Our lives all lost before the sun
and we’ll see what we will see.

Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,

Unite the World
